Review - Huck: Big Bad World #1
From Dark Horse Comics
Huck returns this week from Dark Horse Comics, and the new story arc starts here in Huck: Big Bad World #1.
Huck is an autistic man with extraordinary powers who tries to do one good deed every day. Now he’s back in a sequel where a mysterious man tells him he and his mother aren’t the only super-people out there and there are others in hiding just like them.
Author: Mark Millar
Artist: Rafael Albuquerque
It’s great to see Huck's return. This main character's heart is massive, and it adds to the book's endearing quality. You just want to protect him from getting hurt, which adds to the tension and distrust you have of the characters in the story.
I love the art style here, a painted feel, and the reactions and heart of the story.
Huck is discovering that not all things work the way he would like, and there are still those who are nasty to others. He’s doing what he can, though, and it works out in most cases.
There is a mystery, though, and it looks like it may hark back to his mother’s powers and how she got them. I like the tease that there are others out there, and hopefully, they have good intentions.
This comic has a lot for us to learn, and we shall see where it is going!
